New Windscreen

[hoony]

hey everyone,

have a crack in the front windscreen that has got out of hand now

i was ringing around places today getting prices for a new windscreen fitted

prices are as follows;

O'Brien

$460 or something fitted

Novus

$310 +/- fitted

now i was wondering, are there any local places or 'small' businesses that can take care of this without the high price

i once had to get a rear windscreen put in at a place that is right next to where J-Shop used to be but i have forgotten their name...

any help would be awesome guys, much appreciated

cheers,

Andrew

P.S: my insurance doesn't cover for windscreens, thanks

Andrew, i dont think those prices are too over the top to be honest.

A freind had the new range rover and broke the windscreen, $3000! hahahaha

Makes yours look cheap huh?

Hey Andrew,

I think mine was 180 from allwest tinting/windscreens on Bannister Rd (fitted)....but it may have been 280....

Obriens didn't quote me that much though.... Just give people in your area a call, i think novus was the next best price for me from memory.

[Pal]

do you a free windscreen on insurance a year?

[ossie_21]

I'd assume he's with Just Cars & they don't have that in their policy. I had to replace one 3 years ago on my 33 & it cost me $260

just send the bill to Kevin Rudd, as I remember u saying he was buying u one

Andrew i did the call around thingy late last year to about 5 places n prices were from around 300-400, maybe starta thread to see if anyone else wants theres done and find a place that can do a deal.

id do it for u for free man but it would probably be made out of glad wrap

^ lol glad wrap

thanks everyone, $300 is quite reasonable but yeah i've found a place that can supply for around $100 then i just need someone to fit!

thanks for the support people!

and yeah i'm with just cars and they suck, no windscreen replacement covered in their policies!!!

[fire_angel]

it is covered, you just have to pay a $450 excess.....GR@#$%^!

[Mr_GaZZa]

hbf is good wa company!!

[= unlimited all windows for $50 or 1 free a year!

and mate $300 is cheap.. unless you want a cheap window that is 2nd hand or will fall out?!

might be a bit late but profesional windscreens did mine for $140 fitted and he rplaced all the surrounding rubber for free. the best part is he comes to you no matter where you are. big he did a great job.

his name is nigel and his number is 0421795442

[hoony]

^ holy sh*t dude that's extremely cheap i'll take his number down, car is still in the shop so haven't had a chance for anyone to come out yet, will definitely give him a call Gavin thanks heaps!

I might as well ask here..

My windscreen on the bunky has been attacked by what looks like a scourer right where line of sight is, about a 1/2'x1/2' patch. Annoys the fugg out of me when driving. Will a replacement windscreen be covered under the free windscreen a year on the insurance? Or is it just for cracked / smashed / badly chipped? Shannons if that makes any difference.

Thanks,.

According to Shannons it has to affect the integrity of the glass for them to replace it.

[Ehgriez]

throw a rock at it. Then get them to replace it.
